Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Principles, Plans and Purposes of the Educational Program of the Recruit Educational Center: Camp Upton, New York The subject matter contained herein was prepared at the Recruit Educational Center, Camp Upton, New York, which has been in operation since May 1, 1919. The normal length of the course at the Recruit Educational Center is four months. The students are all men who have been enlisted as illiterate and non-English speaking. The men are grouped together in an organization consisting of two battalions. The program consists of about three and one-half hours´ military drill and three hours´ actual school work. The full power of the military control is used to compel the maximum attendance. Several methods of teaching have been tried out and discarded until gradually the present method has been evolved. The course was originated and developed by Captain Garry C. Myers, Sanitary Corps, Director of Education, who was assisted in the work of developing details by practically the entire corps of instructors of the Recruit Educational Center. Space docs not permit mentioning the names of the individuals concerned, but to all of them the Recruit Educational Center acknowledges due credit. The military stories were originated and developed by First Lieutenant Walter H. Wells, Infantry, under the supervision of Major Louis T. Byrne, Infantry, United States Army, commanding the center. This course is being sent out with the belief that it will be found of great assistance in teaching men throughout the service, who (while they have been classified as literate when they entered the service) require a better knowledge of the English language to enable them to perform properly the duties of a soldier. Wall charts, word cards, penmanship strips and writing scale mentioned herein may be obtained on requisition to the War Department.
